Let's Post our Daily Exercise

Almost forgot, Kindergarden Eduardo will be at 24 Torrance next weekend I will probably come up Saturday, I'll find out the times and let you know, maybe we can do lunch

Love the snow pictures (if not the actual snow itself)! Did a good FIRM toning DVD and now need to do some house cleaning.

Thanks all for the comments and tips. Another reason this thread is so wonderful. You all are very much appreciated.

Badger, love those pics; thanks for the giggles. Pita119, bite your tongue. We had enough snow last winter.

1 hour in pool this afternoon; 90% aerobics - 5% jogging; 5% swimming. Now stir-frying veggies for dinner, some cheese and an apple for dessert.

Night mu sculpted friends.

Another GREAT day for a ride. Have to admit I was dubious when I drove to the meet up place with windshield wipers going full tilt, but then the rain stopped and the skies cleared. I LOVE the low sun this time of year. Just so beautiful.

The ride was hilly and kicked my butt, but much needed. I can feel the difference in how I breathe, and I am sure that my muscles will be talking to me soon. Stopping place was a coffee shop, and yes, I had a latte and pumpkin pie. I feel like I am finally back to being fit, and something I really miss when I don't get it.

Need to get my pea soup (with ham hocks) going. I got really good multi-grain rolls to go with. Because still damp out there from all the rain. So soup is what it will be. Happy Sunday everyone. - Claire

heehee, thanks Ginger. My PCP warned me a SE of metformin could be frequent bathroom visits but she didn't say it was because of carb overload. I'll remember that.

11/23- patoo, one of the challenges of changing your diet this time of the year is the holidays. Today I bought a sugar free (made with Splenda) apple pie and tried it! My family that is coming to town eats sugar, so we are doing some other things for them. But I decided I did not want to feel deprived so I bought a pie for me!

The brand is Jesse Lord, and not sure what your best stores are in NJ, but check the bakery section of your favorite store and ask if they have a sugar free section. Most are starting to carry sugar free cookies, cakes, pies, etc. now.

Mommy- sounds like you found a new kitten this weekend!

Bitterly cold here today, but got to the gym and did 42 minutes on the bike for a total of 9.34 miles. I have not totalled up my steps for today yet, but hoping to make it to 8K today.

Congrats Pita119!!!!! This car will be the second new car for me. Bought my very first new one 3 years ago and loved it. Actually planned to drive it at least 10 years but....Unfortunately someone rearended me at a traffic light hence the new car. I had a Nissan Rogue and just bought a new one. The body style has changed and my previous color is not available so it will be like a totally different car to me.

Guess we can muddle thru figuring out all the new gadgets together.

Odie16,

Getting the car home in one piece is my biggest fear. I've been driving for 39 years, no accidents but many, many, many close calls & it would just be my luck to have someone hit me coming home with it. Wish me luck!!!!

Went to yoga, then stayed and did 30 minutes on one of the fancy treadmills. I have a dinner meeting tonight so will have to skip Zumba (boo hoo).

My exercise for last week consisted of walks (1.5-2.5 miles) most days. Been a bit chilly for the pool. Now I keep to keep up motivation this week. Just got my Kadcyla infusion and that always knocks me down for a few days afterwards.

Claire, I look forward to reading your account of the conference. I wanted to comment on a point you made a few pages back - walking to do errands adds up. I can attest to that! Both times I lost weight was when I moved to a place where I had to walk all the time - first when I moved to Africa for Peace Corps and then when I moved to NYC for work. My walking has really fallen to the wayside since I had to move in with my family in FL for treatment although I've still lost weight from various stomach/appetite/eating issues that treatment brought on. To be honest though, I've probably lost muscle mass as well. I can't wait to get back to living in a more walkable city. Hopefully NYC again.

For those who are looking for veggies while eating out - that's why I love ethnic restaurants. Love a big plate of chana masala or hot bowl of vegetable pho. Yum!

20 mins bike, 30 mins treadmill, 30 mins weights. Tomorrow will try get to pool but have choir rehearsal so will see if can fit it in.

I'm wiped out so turning in early. Hope to hear from the nutritionist soon to set an appointment.

Thanks again and night my valuable sculpted friends.

I did my stretching/toning and then 30 minutes on the treadmill both on Saturday and today.

Patoo - good luck with your nutritionist appt. I'll bet that will be very helpful. I saw one in early October and she gave me some good info. It's kind of odd...I almost feel like I'm actually eating more, but I guess it's things that are good for me, so it's 'ok'!

Good night all!

11/24- hour of circuit training with the trainer today along with some warm up before hand on the tread mill. Lots of walking today, almost 12K steps!

Badger, which TS exchange program are you with? I could do some homework and find somewhere around here that might be fun.

Today I rowed on the machine, 3K. Hope to do some yoga when I get home before supper

Did my exercise class & 15 minutes of abs when I got home (she spent so much time with the weights that we never got to them!).
